Lord Fred and Princess Astra backed off. This person was no threat. This person was barely standing.
This person fell. Astra caught the figure's chest and lowered them gently to her lap. In the new light, Lord Fred saw that the figure was Sir Josh, an information specialist based back at the castle.
"Lord Fred!" Sir Josh gasped. "It is you! Thank goodness."
"Sir Josh! What is going on?"
"It's the dragon's master! He got this damnable pyramid after slaying one of the Old Goddesses. Now he's kidnapping important people of the Great Kingdom. He couldn't take the Great Kingdom on in a war, but kidnapping...kindapping important people. This kingdom is falling apart, Fred. No one in power is left...they're taken when we elect them..."
Suddenly, Sir Josh's skin turned black. His eyes glowed purple and his incisors lengthened. "HA!" he screamed. Then his head thunked off the ground as Astra dropped him. "Now you know! This body has served it's purpose. Swim in your hopelessness, Lord Fred! DROWN IN IT!"
Sir Josh exploded. Blood drenched everything within twenty feet.

"NO!" said Lord Fred.
